3.5 Reading and Setting Alarm Levels
The Model 5340V provides high and low alarm levels for oxygen
saturation and heart rate. The alarm levels are retained in memory until
changed by the user, except when the low saturation alarm is set below
80%. In this case, it reverts to 80% at the next power-on. The factory
settings for the saturation alarm levels are high 100% and low 85%. The
high saturation alarm can be disabled by setting it to 100%. The factory
settings for the pulse-rate alarm levels are high 140 BPM and low 50
BPM.
To read and set the alarm levels, follow these steps:
1)
Read the low oxygen saturation alarm level with one short
depression
of the OXYGEN SATURATION ALARM KEY. The red light of the LO
ALARM INDICATOR lights up. Adjust the low alarm level with the
INCREMENT
or DECREMENT
KEY. The Model 5340V reverts
to normal monitoring after a 5-second period of key inactivity.
2)
Read the high oxygen saturation alarm level with two short
depressions of the OXYGEN SATURATION ALARM KEY. The red
light of the HI ALARM INDICATOR lights up. Adjust the high alarm
level with the INCREMENT
or DECREMENT
KEY. The Model
5340V reverts to normal monitoring after a 5-second period of key
inactivity.
3)
Read the low pulse rate alarm level with one short
depression of the
PULSE RATE ALARM KEY. The red light of the LO ALARM
INDICATOR lights up. Adjust the low alarm level with the
INCREMENT
or DECREMENT
KEY. The Model 5340V reverts
to normal monitoring after a 5-second period of key inactivity.
4)
Read the high pulse rate alarm level with two short
depressions of the
PULSE RATE ALARM KEY. The red light of the HI ALARM
INDICATOR lights up. Adjust the upper alarm level with the
INCREMENT
or DECREMENT
KEY. The Model 5340V reverts
to normal monitoring after a 5-second period of key inactivity.
3.6 Silencing and Reactivating Alarms
Alarm conditions are generated only after an initial pulse has been
detected. Alarm tones are automatically silenced when the alarm
condition goes away.
